Windows 7: Intel Q9400 Temperatures

I have an intel Q9400 quad core cpu with an artic cooling rev 2 and i idel at 38-40c but when i first installed the cooler it ideled at 34c so wanted to know what has happened to it and if the cooler may be failing it also works at 55c full load and not gone higher.

Just a slight dust build up is enough to cause that slight temp difference. Also 55C is absolutely fine for full load temps although dusting out your computer or changing out the TIM may bring it down a notch.

Hmmm....my Q9550 on stock cooling with a slight overclock (2.83Ghz to 3.2Ghz) idles around 32-34. It goes to about 58 under load.

I would expect lower numbers for an aftermarket cooler.

I was thinking of trying out the stock cooler i got with it as my mate had same prob with his he bought an after market £40 Aksa evo cooler and his stock one works cooler than that di dis it worth changing it or just dusting ?

PC Custom Builds and Overclocking

Overclocking Intel Q9400I have just got this CPU at weekend and i know that it is capable of being overclocked to a lot more than it is standard as it is 2.66GHz at the moment what would be a safe amount to go up to as i have it running a Arctic Cooling Rev2 and i idle at 36/37/36/37 and at 54/56/53/55 on load this is at...

Intel Q8400 or Q9400I am just about to order one of these 2 CPU's and want to know what one will be better as i will be overclocking anyway im not to bothered about the speed as i will set it to at least 3.0GHz the only difference i see is the cache so what do you think?

Hardware & Devices

Intel Q9505 or Q9400I recently got rid of my AMD 965 as it has way to high temputures for me while gaming so i decided to get intel as they have always been fine for me and was wundering which was better Q9505 or the Q9400.

Hardware & Devices

Intel Q9400 showing as 4x Unkown Device...In Device Manager this processor is showing as 4 unknown devices and does this anywhere that would show what the processor type is, is there a way to fix this?
I'm not sure if it even has to do with being in Windows 7 7100 or not though.
Forgot to say I just got this processor on May 5th so...
